Betting NFL parlays via Anytime Touchdown Scorers is incredibly fun, even if they’re mostly a losing proposition that will drain your bankroll if you’re not careful. Most sportsbooks tend to clean up on this type of bet, so how do we scratch the “parlay itch” without overextending ourselves financially?
Allow me to introduce “The 180 Challenge.” Here’s how it works:
Each week, I'll be betting a 3-leg NFL Anytime TD parlay that equates to +1800 or more. $10 per parlay ticket, $180 total for the season.
The goal is to win as much as possible. But the safety net is, you only need to hit one parlay all season to make your money back. If you go 0-18 (which is unfortunate), the positive spin is it's only $180. This way, we can still participate with fun touchdown parlays while managing our bankroll and not going overboard on bad spending habits. We finally hit our 22-1 parlay a few weeks ago. That means we’re playing with house money the rest of the season, for those who have followed.
Disclaimer: 18-1 parlays have less than 5% chance of hitting, and that percentage only shrinks as you increase the parlay odds. Keep your expectations in check and bet on these for recreation.
Read below for my +2116 NFL parlay picks for Week 8 at FanDuel.
NFL Parlay Week 8
- Tyreek Hill Anytime Touchdown (+105)
- Stefon Diggs Anytime Touchdown (+135)
- Khalil Shakir Anytime Touchdown (+350)
Parlay Odds: +2116 (FanDuel)
If Tua Tagovailoa is back at QB for the Dolphins, that means Tyreek Hill is going feast in this matchup.
Tyreek has averaged over 10 targets per game with Tua under center, and this week, he'll face a Cardinals' defense that ranks 29th in defensive DVOA against the pass, and ranks bottom-5 against the deep ball.
Don’t overthink it! Tyreek should go off this week.
With Nico Collins out with an injury, Stefon Diggs in the clear No. 1 receiver in Houston at the moment.
The Texans faced the Colts in Week 1 and Diggs scored two touchdowns against them.
Diggs leads the Texans in target share against zone coverage, and fortunately for him this week, the Colts play zone at a top-5 rate in the league.
I fully expect CJ Stroud to pepper Diggs with targets in the red zone against Indy this week.
This is a great matchup for the Bills' speedy slot receiver, Khalil Shakir.
The Seahawks have allowed 10 passing touchdowns so far this season, with seven of those TDs going to the wide receiver position.
They've particularly struggled in the slot as of late, as they’ve given up four touchdowns to slot receivers over their last four games.
I love Shakir in this spot because he's crushed zone defenses all year, but he's been good against pretty much all coverages, as he's also scored two TDs against man defenses.
Regardless of whether Seattle plays mostly zone or man: Shakir should get a ton of volume this week.
